We want people realize there is no need to take Dolphins freedom away to interact with them. The whole trip experience is about we, the humans, adapting ourselves to nature.

Top of the World Experience:
Traveling along with The Dolphin Pod using the Paddle Boards is simply amazing, the connection created with them makes you feel a sense of freedom never experienced before.

We will Be able to really understand their behavior:

1. When finding a Pod, we will realize there are several sub group members of the same pod but distributed in a radio area of more than 300 meters. At certain direction we can see The juveniles breaching out of the water, in another, mothers and calfs swimming togueter and finally, the Alfa Dolphins which take care of the Pod are observing us making sure we are not a threat for the Pod.

2. Protective Behavior of Dolphins with New born baby Whales
Is very common to find groups of dolphins floating nearby Humpbach whale and its calves.

What to expect

Wild Dolphin encounters in freedom is the right way to understand their behavior and needs. Our Marine Life specialist will share with you and your guests their knowledge about dolphin amazing communication skills, intelligence and behavior, so that we learn the right way to interact with them.

We will navigate in direction to the areas they feed themselves, near the river mouths. Once we find a group of dolphins we will identify the pods showing more interest in us so we can have our chance to interact with them.

Our Team have created 3 Different Ways of Interaction with Dolphins:

1. Paddle Boards: Best way for a respectfully initial approach to pods. They feel comfortable and curious about guests at Paddle Boards near to them.

2. Snorqueling gear: Dolphins normally start swimming arround and under the Paddle Boards over and over, which give us our chance to take a swim among them.

3. Towable Boards: When Dolphins pods swim in a certain direction, we use the Towable Boards for our guests to glide over the water close to the dolphins.

Important fact for a great interaction with Dolphins:
They can hear us, so when we whistle or cheer to them, they feel attracted.
